Botanical Description & Habitat
Panax ginseng
Common names
Asiatic ginger
Chinese ginseng
Ginseng, Asian (Panax ginseng) also including Korean Red Ginseng, which is processed, making the root red and giving it a bit differing properties from the unprocessed yellowish-white ginseng root
Ginseng, American (Panax quinquefolius) 95% of domestic production is exported (c. 100,000 lbs in 1980).
The dwarf ginseng (Panax trifolius) is also American.
Ginseng, "Siberian" (Eleutherococcus senticosus) - better to call this Eleuthero, as it isn't a true ginseng.
Ginseng, "Brazilian" (Pfaffia paniculata) - better to call this Suma, as it isn't a true ginseng.
Ginseng, "Indian" (Withania somnifera) - better called Ashwagandha, as it isn't a true ginseng
While not all of these are ginsengs, they are all adaptogens.
Indigenous to the mountain forests of Asia from Nepal to Manchuria, and is cultivated primarily in Korea.
Has a perennial root which annually produces a smooth, round stem reaching one foot in height. The stem terminates by dividing into two to three stalked compound leaves which consist of five to seven petiolate, oblong-ovate, serrate leaflets.
A solitary, simple umbel of greenish-yellow flowers grows from the top of the stem blooming from June to August. The fruit is a red, kidney-shaped berry.

Root - dried or fresh
Historical Properties & Uses
Ginseng possesses some powerful and seemingly contradictory effects. For instance, under certain conditions the herb can lower blood pressure, but under other conditions, it can elevate pressure. Other characteristics of ginseng will appear in unhealthy organisms, but will be absent in normal, healthy organisms.
These apparently inconsistent findings have led researchers to the hypothesis the guiding principle behind ginseng's action is to "restore normalcy" to organisms, and to resist any change from the condition of overall health (such as infection). Thus the organism's ability to "adapt" to environmental changes is increased. Any herb or other agent that increases an organism's ability to adapt is called an "adaptogen," and this possible explanation of ginseng's properties is known as the "adaptogen hypothesis."
Russian researchers, who originated the term, have used the qualities of Panax ginseng and related Siberian ginseng to define the characteristics of an adaptogen, but such a definition excludes many herbs and other substances whose properties do not exactly match those of the ginsengs. Echinacea, for example, has a powerful ability to build resistance to infection, and many of the so-called alteratives likewise contribute to the adapting ability of animals and humans.
As an explanation of ginseng's activity, Hans Selye's model of stress adaptation is not so restrictive. His model pre-dates the adaptogen hypothesis; it concerns the relationship between the nervous system and the glands of the body, and the way these interact with environmental, nutritional, and physiological stresses. The model holds any substance, including ginseng, affecting those interrelationships will ultimately affect the immune system and the body's ability to deal with stress in either a positive or negative manner.
Further adaptogens are for example:
Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum)
Gotu kola (Centella asiatica)
Rose root, gold root (Rhodiola rosea or Sedum rosea)
Maral root (Leuzea rhaponticum or L. carthamoides, or Rhaponticum carthamoides), a Russian plant - you use the root and/or seeds.
Ginseng affects the body in very positive manner. The herb works on the central nervous system directly, affecting its ability to increase output or to acquire equilibrium when in a state of tension. It stabilizes uncontrolled reactions in the blood, such as sugar levels. It constricts or dilates vessels in the direction of normalcy. Analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory action occur when needed. The herb can either thin the blood or increase its clotting ability, depending on circumstances.
Visible effects of the herb include increased learning ability, resistance to infection, and endurance. Resistance to and recovery from many types of poisoning are enhanced. As a tonic for the whole body, ginseng species are among the best.
Some of the most important and promising studies presently being conducted with ginseng are those investigating its effect on the aging process. Though not all results are in, preliminary findings indicate regular use of small amounts of ginseng can increase lifespan. Use of the herb as an aphrodisiac may even have an effect, although such actions are often exaggerated.
Siberian ginseng (Eleuthero) has approval status by the German Commission E.

Method of Action
The various components of ginseng have been shown to possess a wide spectrum of effects, some of which are contradictory. The following lists of effects were compiled from research literature on general pharmacological evaluations of ginseng in mice, rats and guinea pigs.
The physiological or behavioral effects are listed for the specific ginseng extracts obtained at each step in the extraction process, both for water and alcohol (or ether):
Water Soluble Extracts
First step: slight central nervous system stimulant, cholinergic, histaminergic (blood vessel dilation), serotonergic (vasoconstrictor), and blood pressure elevation.
Next step: all of the above, and papaverine-like action (antispasmodic, smooth muscle relaxing).
Alcohol Soluble Extracts
First step: central nervous system depressant, cholinergic, histaminergic, ganglion stimulant, and blood pressure elevation.
Second step: All of the above, and papaverine-like action.
Third step: serotonergic.
Fourth step: tranquilizing, blood pressure lowering, analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory.
Generally, water soluble components have a slight CNS stimulant action which the alcohol components lack. However, the alcohol extracts exhibit tranquilizing effects, lowered blood pressure, analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties not shared by the water soluble extracts.
The following is a more detailed breakdown of effects:
Fraction G No. 3: central nervous system depressant, cholinergic, histaminergic, serotonergic, and blood pressure elevation.
Fraction G No. 4: slight central nervous system stimulant, central nervous system depressant, histaminergic, serotonergic, and blood pressure elevation.
Fraction (I-V): hemolytic.
Fraction (VI-VIII): anti-hemolytic.
Fraction III: increases nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA and RNA polymerase, and increases rate of serum protein synthesis.
The following is a breakdown by specific saponin:
Ginsengoside-Rb1 (alcohol soluble extract; ginsengoside-Rb2 and -Rc can generally also be included): central nervous system depressant, tranquilizing, blood pressure lowering, analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, facilitate small intestine motility, protect against effects of stress on ulcer formation, papaverine-like, increase synthesis of hepatic cholesterol, and increase RNA activity in rat liver.
Ginsengoside-Ro (alcohol extracts; Fraction I): central nervous system depressant, blood pressure elevating, analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and extremely hemolytic when injected intravenously.
Ginsengoside-Rg1 (water soluble; ginsengoside-Rg2 and -Rf can also be included): slight central nervous system stimulant, blood pressure elevating, anti-fatigue, and stimulates DNA, protein, and lipid synthesis in bone marrow (this effect occurs with -Rc and -Rb2 also).
Ginsengoside-F (extracts from ginseng leaves and foliage): lower blood pressure (in low doses), raise blood pressure (in high doses), hemolytic, central nervous system depressant, tranquilizing, analgesic, cholinergic, histaminergic, and papaverine-like.
Panaxoside C: stimulant (genin = panaxatriol).
The CNS depressant action is found in all saponins of ginseng except ginsengoside-Rg1, and is particularly strong in ginsenoside-Rb1 which belongs to the panaxadiol type saponin. Rb1 has remarkable sedative and tranquilizing action.
It may be noted American ginseng (Panax quinquefolium) has much higher quantities of panaxadiol saponins than does Panax ginseng, and might therefore be expected to possess much greater sedative effects.
Ginsengoside-Rg1, with its mild stimulating action, increased the ability of rats to learn a Y-maze. Caffeine, another stimulant, also increases the ability of rats to learn this maze, but in a slightly different manner. Whereas caffeine increases running time, indicating increased nervous behavior, the ginseng saponin significantly shortened running time, meaning the animal was able to go straight to the end of the maze without wasted energy.
G No. 3 from the ginsengoside Rb series was found to have central nervous system depressant activity, whereas G No. 4 and ginsengoside Rg series had stimulant and anti-fatigue activity.
Some studies indicate the whole plant may not act in the same manner as any particular constituent. Some constituents may cancel others out, or may act in concert to produce some entirely different and new effect.
One study found whole ginseng in small amounts (2.5-5.0 mg/kg) increased general activity, but in large doses (50 or more mg/kg) decreased activity.
Whole ginseng has no hemolytic activity, but half of the active constituents of ginseng are hemolytic; the other half are anti-hemoltyic. Other constituents have been shown to increase RNA activity of rat liver (Rb saponins), while others (Rc saponins) decrease RNA incorporation.
The following is a list of pharmacological results reported by Soviet researchers. Since it is unclear what kind of extracts, fractions or saponins were used to obtain these results, the results are presented without such information:
intensification of inner inhibitory effects in the cortex
transitory and slight hypotensive effects
carbohydrate sparing effect
enhanced resynthesis of glycogen and high energy phosphate compounds
increased body weight
restoration of blood albumin after massive bleeding
stimulation of immune body production
increased physical and mental efficiency in man
increased endurance of white mice in water swimming and rope climbing tasks
radio-protective action
increased life span in rates with alloxan-induced diabetes
impeded hypertrophy and atropy of adrenals
reduced sugar level in hyperglycemia and increased sugar level in insulin-induced hypoglycemia
normalization of both leucocytosis and leucopenia
normalization of both erythrocytosis and erythropenia
produces an anti-alarm reaction to stress
stimulated growth of yeast cells
protozoan and bacteria
anti-radical and antioxidant effects (important in aging process)
One of the earliest modern experiments with ginseng involved putting it into the mouth of one of two men chosen on the basis of similar physical characteristics. The men both ran a certain distance. The one without the ginseng showed shortness of breath and the other felt relatively easy.
Ginseng saponins of the Rg group reportedly have true stimulating effects on the central nervous system, and certain of the combinations of fraction IV may have possible CNS action, but here, the effect has been reported to be metabolic in nature rather than neural excitatory.
In one study, lethal doses of ginsenosides -Rb1, -Rb2, and Rc decreased alertness and grooming behavior in mice, lowered body temperature, reduced spontaneous movement, abolished touch responses, pain responses, and relaxed muscle tone before death. Decreases in spontaneous and exploratory movement were induced by small doses. The same substances in other studies were shown to have tranquilizing and papaverine effects.
Ginseng has been shown to increase the rate of synthesis of RNA in the nucleus and cytoplasm of rat liver cells. It also causes a rise of 46-49% in the synthesis of protein in the blood, especially albumin and gamma-globulin. A single injection of certain saponins was also shown to increase the activity of a substance which helps produce RNA. Also, the increase of amino acid incorporation within the liver was 85% more active than in control animals.
Changes in the liver induced by ginseng have been shown to enhance the synthesis of cholesterol. Particularly active was -Rb1, the most predominant of ginseng saponins. This saponin also increased the breakdown of cholesterol into other steroids. An increased rate of excretion of cholesterol was observed in bile and feces. Ginseng has also been found to increase incorporation in the liver, of fats coupled by a slight decrease in blood sugar level. The investigators suggest ginseng acts by increasing the conversion rate of sugars into the necessary substrates for the synthesis of fatty acids (lipogenesis).
Other researchers found ginseng-extract-treated rat liver produced an increase over control animals in the incorporation of radioactive labeled precursors into nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA and DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity. Administration of ginseng extract directly into the stomach caused on increase in the ratio of serum protein creation such as albumin and gamma- globulin. Endoplasmic reticulum (the part of the cell most involved in these metabolic changes) was increased after four weeks, as seen by electron microscope.
Physiological changes due to stress seem to be mediated, prevented, and reversed by the action of ginseng. Mixed ginseng inhibited major changes in the weight of mouse adrenals, thymus, spleen and thyroid as compared to controls.
Ginseng has been shown to significantly improve an animal's ability to tolerate temperature stress, but when the adrenals were removed, the effect vanishes. Ginseng also decreased oxygen consumption and has anti-fatigue properties, as assessed by swimming endurance tests. The adaptive mechanism of the body appears to be enhance by ginseng, as shown in the above studies as well as in experiments in which the weight of the adrenals, the ascorbic acid content of the adrenals (normally depleted during stress) and the cholesterol content were used as measurements of stress.
In experiments using ascorbic acid content of the adrenals of male albino rats as the measure of stress reaction, the greater the stress, the less ascorbic acid that is found on autopsy. Using heat and cold as stressors, it has been found ginseng alone did not significantly change the rate of depletion of ascorbic acid, but in the presence of the heat or cold stress, the herb initially helped deplete all ascorbic acid and then greatly helped to restore ascorbic acid in the adrenals. In another experiment, in hyophysealectomized rats, similar results were obtained, demonstrating the site of action of the ginseng extract was the adrenals themselves. This line of research invalidates the theory ginseng affects the stress reaction by influencing the central nervous system.
Similar conclusions were reached in a study in intraperitoneal administration of saponins were found to delete cyclic AMP in a dose dependent manner, and increase plasma 11--hydroxy corticosteroid in intact rats; but, in hypophysectomized rats, saponin treatment did not increase adrenal cyclic AMP whereas corticotrophin treatment did. It was therefore concluded ginseng saponin indirectly stimulated the adrenocortical function in intact rats.
Finally, when ginseng saponin mixture was administered to rats intraperitoneally, plasma ACTH and corticosterone increased significantly. The kinetic pattern of the increase in plasma ACTH was almost parallel to plasma corticosterone. Isolated ginsenoside, protopanaxadiol or protopanaxatriol glycoside increased plasma corticosterone. The ginseng-induced increase was suppressed by pretreatment with dexamethasone. Thus the ginseng saponin was found to act on the hypothalamus and/or hypophysis primarily, and stimulated ACTH secretion which resulted in increased synthesis of corticosterone in the adrenal cortex. This finding, and (HIA3), seem to contradict the results of (KIM2) who found a direct action on the adrenals.
Ginseng is reported to facilitate healing, and has anti-inflammatory effects, as well as prevents an increase in white blood cells in the circulatory system; it is also antipyretic. Studies with patients with stomach and duodenum ulcers have shown faster recovery after stomach operations if given ginseng.
Increasing concentrations of panax ginseng caused a dose-related inhibition of phytohaemagglutinin-induced transformation of peripheral blood lymphocytes in 4 normal health adult volunteers. A combination of ginseng and hydrocortisone produced a greater suppression than either drug alone. This suggests panax ginseng has a steroid-like effect in vitro, and may have a potentiating effect with hydrocortisone on T-cell-mediated immunity.
Two of the saponin glycosides isolated from the methanol extract were found to have delayed and prolonged anti-inflammatory properties based on albumin stabilizing activity and carrageenin edema tests in rats.
The following are further research findings on ginseng, not so well investigated as preceding observations:
Brain wave pattern (EEG) of rabbits was activated in the sensorimotor and occipital regions by doses of 0.05 to 2,0 ml/kg of ginseng extract.
There is evidence to support the theory ginseng influences the readiness of the nervous and muscular systems through an effect on potassium stores inside neurons. It thereby facilitates the function of conditional reflexes of evoked potentials.
Ginseng has been shown to increase the capacity for mental work as well as intellectual performance; although there appears to be no noticeable increase in the volume work, there is a significant reduction in errors.
More on the central nervous system stimulating properties of ginseng:
Ginsengoside Rg1, the main component of ginsenoside Rg fraction, accelerated the recovery from fatigued states in mice exposed to 4 hours oscillation. GRg and G No. 5 have produced a slight shortening of the response latency to the conditioned stimulus in pole-climbing and shuttle-avoidance tests, and G No. 5 disrupted the discrimination of sound stimuli in the avoidance situation.
Neither G No. 5 nor GRg produced significant changes in the acquisition of a conditioned emotional response to shock stimuli. However, GRg produced significant acceleration in the acquisition of discrimination behavior in the presence of sound stimuli, and small doses of G No. 5 produced a significant decrease of in acquisition of the discrimination task.
Ginseng seems to be effective in protecting an organism from stress and facilitating healing, but the results in this area are still somewhat of a surprise. A mixture of saponins, mostly -Rb1, -Rb2, and -Rc, was found to significantly increase the time it took for mice to die after being injected with three convulsants: pentylenetetrazol, strychnine, and nicotine. Time to death was increased an average of about 20% over control animals who received no protection. However, ginseng was not as effective as the strong depressant chlorpromazine.
Russian research, which always seems to find more dramatic results, indicated an alcohol extract of ginseng prevented the death of 50% of mice given a lethal dose of strychnine. Furthermore, almost all of the surviving mice did not develop the characteristic strychnine convulsions.
Ginseng has also been found to protect lab animals against nitrogen and mustard gas poisoning as well.
Injections of a ginseng extract have increased the rate of synthesis of serum albumin and gamma-globulin as well as DNA, RNA, protein and lipids in bone-marrow cells. And even minute amounts of ginseng caused changes in mast cells. Based on these findings, studies were done to investigate the action of ginseng on radiation exposure. Ginseng treated mice have experienced increased survival times against chronic irradiation with a total of up to 7000 rads, and a radio-protection about equal to cysteamine after an acute irradiation of 800 rads. The percentage of mice surviving irradiation of 675 rads almost tripled (an astonishing 80%) as a result of intraperitoneal injections of a ginseng saponin mixture 5 minutes after irradiation.
In a recent study, ginseng extract was applied to cells in culture at a dose of 10 micrograms/ml, and found to be significantly radio-protective against gamma-irradiation. Through control comparisons they were able to determine that ginseng saponin increase radiation resistance by altering cell physiology rather than through the DNA repair process.
In fertility and geriatrics, ginseng has provided some interesting results. Male patients complaining of infertility were treated with glutamine, ginseng, or vitamin E. Administration of gluthamine or extract of ginseng and hormones showed good results. Increases of sperm were observed in 28% of the cases and successful pregnancies occurred in 25 cases. Ginseng was not used by itself.
In another study, rats were divided into five groups: groups of 20 were either not treated, castrated, treated with testosterone after castration, with ginseng after castration, or treated with ginseng before and after castration. Certain cells (anterochromaffin cells) decrease radically after castration. Ginseng before and after castration had about the same increase over controls in these cells as the group receiving testosterone.
There is a case of a 70-year old woman who developed swollen, tender breasts with diffuse modularity after taking ginseng powder regularly for three weeks. It was and is not clear how ginseng produced these symptoms.
Ginseng has been shown to lengthen the lifespan of human cells in culture. Extracts had as much effect on cell density and growth rate as did hydrocortisone, i.e., ginseng prevented the normal degeneration occurring in cells left in a normal medium.
Using a human diploid fibroblast strain paradigm, it was found ginseng saponins significantly increased the level of cellular lactate levels and the specific activities of enzymes associated with an anaerobic shift in metabolism. It is hypothesized since in aging rate heart and brain tissue there is a characteristic shift in lactic dehydrogenase isoenzyme patterns decreasing the ability of these organs to tolerate anaerobic conditions such as might occur during sustained work, and since ginseng effectively inhibits that shift, then the herb also helps to maintain or restore the capacity to tolerate anaerobic conditions, thereby counteracting this particular age-related change.
Drug Interactions & Precautions
Known Interactions
A mixture containing astragalia radix, cinnamon, peony, cnidii rhioma, angelica root, ginseng root, and licorice root was shown to enhance antitumor activity and decrease toxicity of mitomycin C.
Concurrent use of ginseng with phenelzine (MAOI's) has resulted in manic-like symptoms.
Ginseng inhibits blood coagulation and decreases INR. (Janetzky, 1997)
Possible Interactions
The adrenocortical or corticosteroidal action of ginseng may be antagonized by the use of heparin, while the adrenocortical responsiveness to ginseng may be impaired by the use of amphotericin B.
In addition, the anti-inflammatory activity of ginseng can be seriously inhibited by phenobarbital and certain other sedatives and hypnotics, such as chloral hydrate and meprobamate. This is also true of beta-adrenergic blocking agents, such as propranolol.
To the extent ginseng's action depends on the presence of cholinergic substances, it will be affected by the decrease in cholinergic-receptor stimulation produced by anticholinergics.
In the absence of other hard data, it may still be assumed observable interactions may occur between the many central nervous system drugs and the psychoactive principles in ginseng.
Safety Factors & Toxicity
Ginseng has a very low toxicity. Some reports appearing in the Journal of the American Medical Association would have you believe otherwise; but those reports are, unfortunately, in the worst tradition of medical research, not the best.
The so-called "ginseng abuse syndrome" hypothesis was, and still is, based on poorly conducted observations in a highly skewed population whose members bear no similarity to the millions of regular ginseng users throughout the rest of the country and world.
Nevertheless, all authorities on ginseng recommend, usually more for philosophical than biological reasons, the herb be used in moderation.
The use of ginseng, as is also true about all herbal products, is not a case of `if a little is good, more must be better'.
This herb has approval status by the German Commission E.
The German Commission E recommends a limited duration for the use of Eleutherococcus and other ginsengs of up to 3 months, while a repeated course is feasible.

jboss-admin-restChristos Vasilakis Oct 11, 2009 6:46 AM
Hi there,
over the last couple of weeks I have been working on a small project(in my free time) to provide RESTful access to some common management/metrics tasks for JBoss(currently tested on 5.1.0.GA). An early access build can be found on the project web site http://code.google.com/p/jboss-admin-rest/ just copy "jboss-admin-rest-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war" to your jboss deploy directory and off you go.
The interface allows for remote deployment of artifacts(war, ear, etc) and components (DataSource, ConnectionFactory etc) as well as inspecting(where appropriate) some useful metrics. Full information is provided for WAR, DataSource and EAR, for other types of deployments we just display some basic info. Further, access to server logs and general server information is provided. XML representation is returned(we have partial support for JSON) for the inspection. I suggest you use firefox/ie that they have built-in support for displaying xml.
I tried to comply with rest principles e.g. posting a new artifact results in "201 Created", undeployment results in "200 OK", artifact not found results in "404 Not Found" etc but we still need some work if we want to be fully compliant. There is doc.txt file that contains a TODO list on what we want to provide. On the project's web site you can find a list of all supported operations with their respective urls.
The project uses JBoss RESTEasy JAX-RS implementation(of course ;) and the new Management API's introduced in JBoss 5. Information on how things work on the management api, was extracted from the jboss-as-5 jopr/embjopr plugin as well as the unit tests in http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/branches/Branch_5_x/testsuite/src/main/org/jboss/test/profileservice/test/. Further we are maven based so you can easily compile/install (hopefully ;). I use jdk 1.6 as my primary jdk for development. If you want to run it jdk1.5 remove the "exclusions" from the pom file. These are the activation and jaxb api's that they already come with jdk 1.6.
In the subversion repository(trunk) there is a folder "testapps" that contains some deployment artifacts(war, ear, datasource, ejb3) that were used for testing. You can use them to play around. Information on how can you access the svn repository is provided in http://code.google.com/p/jboss-admin-rest/source/checkout. They also provide web-based browsing of source code.
As a final note, keep in mind that I am newcomer both in JAX-RS, JAXB and management api's so don't expect to have come up with the "best" solution. But I am willing to learn and I would be glad if I can have feedback so that I can improve this work.
Document, explain, blog, experiment, test-drive, have fun and spread the word :-)
P.S I hope developers excuse me for using "org.jboss.admin.rest" package name. If there is any problem using it I can rename it.
1. Re: jboss-admin-restEmanuel Muckenhuber Oct 15, 2009 4:36 AM (in response to Christos Vasilakis)
Hi Christos,
this is interesting. We are planning to provide a REST interface for ProfileService in future as well, but haven't started on that.
In your TODO list i read that you have problems starting a stopped component. I remember that we had to do some work there as well, but i'm not sure if this fix made it into 5.1.0.GA. It is fixed in the 5_x branch and in the upcoming 5.2.0.Beta1 release though - this might be related.
Briefly looking into your application i noticed that you have a implementation for some of our known Components. I think a more generic mapping between ManagedObjects/Components with their ManagedProperties to xml would be good.
This would be needed to allow multiple management clients to reuse the same REST api without further interpretation of the exposed information. In general this mapping should be quite easy and you would be able to handle everything ProfileService exposes.
Of course depending on your needs you might want to provide some specific implementations for certain ComponentTypes to simplify the usage.
If you are interested in that you can look at some similar code i wrote creating a xml representation of the MetaValues:
http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/branches/Branch_5_x/system/src/main/org/jboss/system/server/profileservice/persistence/xml/ for the MetaValue JAXB model.
and http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/branches/Branch_5_x/system/src/main/org/jboss/system/server/profileservice/persistence/AbstractValuePersistence.java
as well as http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/branches/Branch_5_x/system/src/main/org/jboss/system/server/profileservice/persistence/AbstractValueRecreation.java for the transformation.
This was written for a different purpose so a few more properties about Components would be definitely needed. Still it should give you a starting point in case you want to look at that.

I'm not sure about this - in general i would say that usage of "org.jboss.*" should be avoided. I'll see if i can find out more about that.
3. Re: jboss-admin-restChristos Vasilakis Oct 16, 2009 2:53 AM (in response to Christos Vasilakis)
Hi Emanuel,
thanks a lot for your response!
I agree a more generic approach is needed, allow me some time to have a look at the API's you posted (very interesting) and get back to you soon.

Sure, no problem - take your time. In case you have questions feel free to ask and i'll see if i can help.
In general what i posted is not a public API and not intended to be one. It's something we internally use to map a ManagedObject values to xml - but i think it could help you creating a generic mapping for your REST interface.
There are a couple of improvements we plan for AS6, but in case you think something could done differently feel free to suggest changes as well.

Getting Started With Google AdWords Remarketing In 2014
Today I presented at On The Edge Bristol on the subject of Remarketing in 2014. A lot has changed with AdWords in recent years, especially the moving focus away from keywords and towards marketing to specific people and audiences. Below I've compiled all you need to know to get started with Remarketing and why it's a key part of any paid search strategy.
AdWords Quality Score Guide: Types of Quality Score & How to Improve Them
The value of having a strong Quality Score has increased in recent times, with an article from Larry Kim suggesting that the Cost per Click savings as a result of having a high Quality Score are even greater than they used to be (200% more valuable to be precise!). The only problem is that it has become increasingly more challenging to achieve a high Quality Score compared to past years.
Display Advertising on Google AdWords: A Step-by-Step Guide
The Google Display Network (GDN) is responsible for 20% of all AdWords traffic, and it is an ever-growing advertising platform. In the US alone, the GDN reaches 92% of all Internet users. This post will guide you step-by-step through the different kinds of display targeting and how to set up your display campaigns. It will also cover some basic optimisation tips so you can make sure you're getting the most out of Google AdWords Display Advertising.
Your AdWords Enhanced Campaigns Questions Answered
This post answers all of your AdWords Enhanced Campaigns questions so that you can confidently know what to expect when you upgrade to them. The questions in this post are based on the most common questions I hear from clients and those who will be working on Enhanced Campaigns, so there should be something useful in this post for anyone who will soon be making the switch. All AdWords campaigns will automatically be switched to Enhanced Campaigns from July 22nd 2013 so make sure you learn about the new system before then!
The Beginner's Guide to Designing Display Ads
Display advertising campaigns can be excellent for building brand awareness, however, due to banner blindness users are becoming more sophisticated at filtering out the presence of this type of ad. It is because of this that it is now more important than ever to design your display ads with the user in mind to grab their attention and ensure your ads do not go unnoticed.
Facebook vs Google Display Network - Infographic
If you're new to display advertising, or even if you're well versed in the field, you may well have been wondering what the relative merits of Facebook and Google's display network are. Well, wonder no more; below you will find a comprehensive infographic from Wordstream, including head-to-head comparisons in all major categories – such as performance and targeting options.
Google Introduce New Tools as Internet Ad Spend Increases
Search engine giants Google have introduced two new tools for people to determine the success of their display adverts in campaigns, while it has also been announced that the UK Internet adspend has increased 14.4% to £4.8 billion.
As Broadband Speeds Quicken, Online Ad Spend Increases
Ofcom have recently announced that UK broadband speeds increased by 22% last year. In addition, they plan to cut the cost of line rentals and broadband connections. Simultaneously, there is also huge growth in online advertising from some of the largest firms in the UK. So can we assume then that as broadband speeds quicken, more money will be spent by firms advertising online?

New London Google Office - Learn with Google Day
You know you are working in digital marketing when you are actually excited about visiting the Google office. Well, that was me this morning, especially as they have just moved their London office to a brand new building near High Holborn. It's so new I can even forgive Google for not having it on Google Maps – I'm just bitter because Google maps led me to a small theatre near Covent Garden…
Online Newspaper Sites Experiencing Traffic Growth
The common held belief that traditional print media is losing ground to the online medium appears to have been confirmed with latest figures from comScore.
In a study into Internet usage across Europe, it was recorded that 167.2 million unique visitors went on online newspaper sites in June 2011, representing an 11% rise year-on-year. This is a growing trend that has often raised the question whether the Internet is putting an end to the traditional newspaper.

Emaigos imports Google contacts and calendars into Emacs. Contacts are stored in a Big Brother Database (BBDB) file, which makes them usable with many Emacs email packages, like Gnus. Google calendars are stored as a single Org-mode file, so events may be viewed as a structured document and possibly shown within an Agenda view. With Emaigos, it's possible to use Google as a contacts and calendars manager, while having all the same data available within Emacs. The original Google contacts and calendars are not modified in any way by Emaigos. The name "Emaigos" is an acronym for "EMAcs Importer for GOogle Stuff".
Subtivals provides project subtitles for cinema festivals. Hard copies for film festivals do not always carry subtitles, especially for the hard-of-hearing. Subtivals' goals are the projection and the control of subtitles superimposed on a cinema screen. Projecting subtitles on top of another screen is called soft-titling, surtitling, supertitling, or even sometimes electronic subtitles or virtual subtitles.
crackxls2003 breaks the encryption on Microsoft Excel and Word 97/2000/XP/2002/2003 files which have been encrypted using the RC4 method. These files are encrypted using a 40-bit-long key. It will not work on files encrypted using versions later than 2007 or versions 95 or earlier, or if a non-default encryption method was used.
Bibfilex is software to create and manage archives of bibliographical items (books, articles, etc.) according to Biblatex structure and rules. It is far less advanced than other bibliographic managers like JabRef, and allows only a few customizations. Its strength is speed and lightness, especially when used with many items. It uses SQLite as a database. It can store the items according to each of the entry types described in the Biblatex manual (book, article, etc.), import the content of a file in Biblatex format (like a JabRef database, a Mendeley BibTex exported file, or a Google Books BibTex downloaded file), export data to a Biblatex file (like a JabRef database), locate an item just typing its author name, title, etc. filter the items by selecting a keyword in a list, filter the items according to three different conditions (or to manually modify the SQL statement of the filter to make it more suitable or complex) or according to the \cite commands contained within a Latex document, associate various attachments (files of every kind) with each item, activate autocompletion of data in each field with "Ctrl + Space", automatically create unique BibTex keys according to a pattern defined by the user, and specify the fields (columns) shown in the grid view of the data. It is also possible to replace the \cite and \printbibliography commands in a Latex document with extended citations and bibliography, which are composed according to a user-defined pattern, to export the Latex file in other formats more easily.
pyHIDS is a host-based intrusion detection system. It uses an RSA signature to check the integrity of its database. Alerts are written in the logs of the system, and can be sent via email to a list of users or on IRC channels (through the irker IRC client). You can define rules to specify files to be checked periodically.
Galois is a computer game of the "falling blocks" type, but with unique features. Unlike most other games of that type, it is not limited to blocks made of four two-dimensional, square bricks: you can choose among several different brick shapes, blocks composed of more or fewer bricks, and even between two- and three-dimensional games.

Last week, South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier opened his media session with a meandering "state of the union" address that touched on everything from scheduling to coaches paying players out of their own pockets to the fact that Notre Dame should be forced to join a conference. In fact, Spurrier said the league's coaches voted unanimously in Destin that the Fighting Irish should join a league. (As if the SEC's coaches have any say on what deals a Midwestern university can cut for itself.)
Well, ACC commissioner John Swofford has responded to Spurrier. Notre Dame, of course, will join that league a member in every sport but football. The Irish will, however, play five ACC teams per year on the gridiron. Swofford's take on Notre Dame:
"It's the right thing to do at this point in time. It was a unanimous decision by our institutions and a very positive one that has already benefited us without question…
I'm really pleased and I know the vast majority of people in our league are pleased that ND is part of the ACC family under the conditions they are currently under."
Hey, if there weren't something special about Notre Dame, the Irish wouldn't be able to cut special deals for themselves. Other folks might not like it and it might not be "fair," but as long as television networks, the College Football Playoff power brokers, and conferences like the ACC see great value in the Notre Dame brand, Notre Dame will continue to wield unique power.

Great talker, terrible listener – A difficult review to write, given that Giacamo is a warm human being.
Went to see him after a personal recommendation and some research. Found him to be a great talker and a terrible listener. I came to him with an open mind about a grow-out of my hair which had been fabulously managed by a master stylist in another town. Unfortunately, my openess and trust extended to the color of my hair and that's where it ultimately ended for me.
His approach to color on my brunette hair was extreme, heavy handed and very damaging to the overall condition of my hair. When I went back in to show him and discuss a different strategy going forth, he first said that my hair was "hard" because of the keratin treatment he sold me and told me to use ($40). Then he said it "wasn't that bad", and ended finally with telling me that he "liked it". And of course- he had product recommendations galore- not one of them that would do anything but mask my dead, straw-like hair condition. All over my objections to the color process, my stated desire that we agree on a different path and in the face of a customer who obviously wasn't happy.
I've spent several hundred dollars (so far) on color correction due to his decision to use chunky bleach and double processing on my very fine brunette hair- all after I had specifically communicated that I liked highlights AND that bleach should not be used on my hair.
Think twice before you let him color your hair. He's coasting on a reputation that is in the past and won't listen to what you really want.
The Arrogance Far Exceeds The Talent – If you are looking for a "stylist" than you are in luck. Giacomo does wonders with a brush and a hair dryer. Unfortunately, his cuts are amateur at best. and his ability to work with different hair textures is lacking. His arrogance far exceeds his expertise and you will ultimately be disappointed with the unflattering cut you are left to work with day to day. I strongly recommend you look elsewhere for a precision/professional haircut.
Truly wonderful experience.... – Besides being a creative (but matter-of-fact) hair genius, Giacomo is a genuinely good person who cares about his clients' well-being. The salon offers a peaceful and also energizing environment, with comfortable sofas and chairs and good music played at low volume. (I actually took a nap on the sofa in the front room while waiting for my color to process!) Giacomo uses a great color line with super pigments and no ammonia, and instantly knows what shade will make a client as beautiful as possible. He also uses an oil treatment that makes hair feel like silk...even long hair that has been over processed (mine)! I am really looking forward to my next appointment.
Editorial Review – Giacomo Forbes Hair Studio features a celebrity hair stylist waiting to make clients ready for the red carpet.
Nothing Like It! – My Sister and I went to the Giacomo Forbes Studio and got our hair done by Scott- it was the coolest experience either of us has ever had at a hair salon. The place is small, intimate and very comfortable, and Scott cut and styled our hair better than we've ever had done anywhere before.
Wow... he is so nice, and he introduced us to Giacomo too. Almost immediately we felt sooo comfortable and at home. I also got my hair highlighted and the result of both the cut and color was exceptional. We looked fantasic! He styled our hair so great, we decided to go out for dinner and drinks to show it off. Seriously, "fashion show" hair!
Scott let us book after 5p and worked late because we both work during the day, and treated each of us to a fresh lipstick application (you should see his makeup kit... to die for!) and sent us on our way to a wonderful evening. We both received compliments on our hair and we felt great!
We both highly recommend the GF Studio, and either Scott or Giacomo. They are close friends who've known each other a long time and are the only hairdressers at the studio... it's like "their place" and it's really wonderful.

At a recent Mt. Lebanon commissioners meeting, commissioners opened the discussion to change the ordinance that prohibits skateboarding on Mt. Lebanon's streets. The current ordinance reads "no person shall ride a skateboard, coaster, skates or similar device upon any street."
Obviously, safety needs to remain a top concern, but "banning" skateboarding from the municipality streets is not only ineffective – police typically give warnings as opposed to citations for those who violate the ordinance, according to municipal manager Stephen Feller – it is also stifling Mt. Lebanon's youth. There are no designated skate parks in Mt. Lebanon. The closest option will be Pitcher Park Memorial Skatepark, which will be built in Carnegie. In an era where childhood obesity rates are higher than ever and physical activity is a top priority, limiting the ways in which people – young and old alike – can burn calories is just ridiculous. Add to the fact that bicycling is allowed in Mt. Lebanon, as it should be – is there really that much of a difference between riding a bike or riding a skateboard? We don't think so.
Now, we are not suggesting that people skateboard or roller blade down busy streets like Washington Road, Castle Shannon Boulevard or Cochran Road – where it will likely remain prohibited, as these are the municipality's core business districts. But, in residential neighborhoods or parks, there really isn't harm. Skateboarders and those on roller skates should have to wear protective gear, most importantly, helmets.
Should the ordinance change, skateboarding will still be prohibited in parking garages, and we see no problem with that. School properties will establish their own rules when it comes to skateboarding.
A public hearing for the proposed change will take place at the commission's Feb. 25 meeting. We urge not only parents, but those who skateboard or roller skate to attend. This is a chance to have your voice heard, and it is a chance to show the municipality that you are willing to be responsible if the ordinance does indeed get changed.

Chitika: San Francisco is No. 1 Mac city, Vermont No. 1 stateJune 28, 2011: 6:07 AM ET
Wyoming and West Virginia, at 4.19% apiece, have the lowest concentration of Apple computers
Apple's (AAPL) share of the U.S. PC market is still shy of 10%, according Gartner's first quarter 2011 report, but some parts of the country are more Mac friendly than others.
Drawing on research gathered between June 2 and 8 by Chitika's ad network, which serves more than than 70 million impressions per day, MacDailyNews reports that San Francisco is the country's No. 1 Mac-using city with a 24% market share. New York City is No. 2, with 23.3%.
Six of the top 10 Mac cities are in California, but statewide Apple's share is only 14%. That puts it behind Vermont (19.55%), Hawaii (19.41%) and Maine (15.99%). To find the lowest concentration of Macs you have to travel to West Virginia or Wyoming (4.19% apiece).
Perhaps it's time Jackson Hole got an Apple Store.
Click on Chitika's map to check out the Mac usage in your state. (I found it worked better on Safari than on Firefox.)

I honestly have no idea why I keep on playing these. I haven't liked them since 8, and that was a long time ago. I, and gaming tastes, have evolved since then, but FF remains the same.
****ing awful dialogue. So bad. Bad beyond words. It's so bad it hurts my feelings as a writer. I kind of wish the characters were real so I could watch them die IRL. Hate at that level.
And yet I keep on going back to play it. I didn't have this with 13--picked it up, tried it, threw it out.
But I want to keep playing XIII-2 and I have no idea why.

Re: Final Fantasy XIII-2
My friend said the best part of XIII-2 was that you didn't have to listen to Vanille's super-happy weirdness as much. I haven't played it yet though. Still working my way through 13, sadly.
It's not very enjoyable so far. I want to play my games, not sit there and watch them play themselves. Really pretty graphics! But, as a game? Soooo boring.

>Why not tax breaks for "We the people"?<
Schedule A to Form 1040 is full of them. I used to itemize before I retired, but when I retired my gross income decreased enough that I don't currently have enough tax preference items to itemize. I expect that will change in a few years as my IRA distributions increase with age and I eventually take Social Security.

I am attempting to jailbreak my phone, but it won't join the network. I've searched all over this forum and others for an answer, but nothing seems to work.
I have an 8GB iPhone Serial #7u746******. I downgraded to 1.1.1 firmware and am stuck there. I'm guessing it has the 4.06 bootloader, but I thought that just meant I couldn't unlock the SIM. I'm not sure how to verify the bootloader, because I don't understand the ssh thing.
When I check the ip address of the network on the iPhone it does not match the address of my Mac. Is that a problem? Even if I enter it manually it doesn't seem to matter.
Can anyone help?
I just found out you can access the Modem Firmware version on the About screen.
Mine is 04.02.13 G
Does this mean it can be SIM unlocked? Once I can access my network that is.
Still can't do that.

Pressey has been steady at point
|Posted by shawn cassidy on October 28, 2013 at 5:35 AM
I wasn't sure what to expect from Pressey, and it's been one of the best surprises this season. In past preseasons, we've been disappointed before when it came to the regular season performance from some players. Can Pressey translate his play in the regular season, in his rookie season? Pressey appeared in six preseason games and averaged 4.8 points and 4 assists over 18.8 minutes per game. Pressey can control the floor well for being a rookie, and the only thing that hinders Pressey is his poor jumper ,so far.
A strong showing as a summer league invite earned Pressey a three-year contract that included a fully guaranteed first season. But even being the only healthy pure ball-handler in camp this season didn't guarantee the 22-year-old the chance to crack the rotation this year. His play this exhibition season might have.
"[Pressey has] shown a ton," said Stevens. "I think at times that we've played our best basketball with him on the floor. At other times, he hasn't been as good, and that's to be predicted. He's a young guy. But I've said this at the start, the guy works at his game. He wants to be good. It's not an accident that he's here. He is a good player. He's a hard worker. He cares. He's an easy guy to coach. All that stuff adds up at the end of the day. You can see it in the exhibition games."
"You don't get to where he is at his size unless you've got a little something to you," said Stevens. "You look across some of the smaller guards in the history of basketball that are in the NBA now, that are in college now, and those guys probably all share one common characteristic -- and that's that they've got stuff to them. He's not arrogant by any means, but he's appropriately confident."
Jared Sullinger, who knows a thing or two about playing with a chip on your shoulder after back concerns forced him to slide in the 2012 draft, added, "That's Phil, though. Especially when you have someone like Rondo in your ear, telling you what you can do. That really helps you out. Some of that is Phil, he came into training camp like that. And then you add the Rondo confidence, from Rondo being in his ear. He really has a strong demeanor about him."
I really think Pressey is the backup point guard of the future for this team. Rondo will need someone like Pressey. I wasn't sure about Pressey, but so far the prodcut on the floor is worthy of regular season action for the rookie.

For Instructors
01/13/2011 7:51 am
Words create impressions, images and expectations. They build emotional connections to those around us. They influence how we think (and eventually react). There is an undeniable connection between the words we use and the results we get. When instructing, I try to use the word challenge instead of hard. Challenge immediately brings a sense of pride and individual responsibility to an activity, hard can make an action sound grueling and unappealing. A hill climb should call for challenging resistance, or it should challenge the participant's ability to sustain an effort. Remove and release are terrific for lowering muscle tension, but not so great when discussing resistance. Students can take them literally and remove their primary tool for both control and safety while riding. I prefer terms like: turn back to the left and flatten out the road. They both indicate that resistance is lighter, but certainly still present. Fast is another word I tend to avoid while instructing. My intention may be for the students to push their cadences toward the top of the terrain guideline, but many riders take the word and try to put out the most pedal strokes possible in a given amount of time with very low and unsafe levels of resistance. Instead, I like to use statements like: higher cadence, putting out more circles, and picking up your pace. As certified instructors, we work with our students. We don?t just teach or lead a class. When we work with people we are joining them to accomplish a shared goal while paying close attention to both their skills and needs.Share

Review: The story of Internet Explorer resembles nothing less than the "Ugly Duckling," a maligned and mocked bird that grew into something far more beautiful. Such is the case with Internet Explorer 10 and its roots as Internet Explorer 6.

Fast, standards-compliant, and even future-forward in some ways, Microsoft got it right with IE 10. Still, it has some drawbacks that keep it from … Read more
